Ok, so the photo is rubbish but it was taken at very short notice.
I was walking back from Middleton quarry works on Sunday afternoon along the path back to the hall, when I heard the Cuckoo calling from above me.
My camera was on a monopod and its settings were as I had left them in the open by the lake...not ideal for low light..I took the shot holding the camera vertically, best as I could with the weight of the pod. Moments later the bird flew away.
